The high-quality components offer dynamic handling ideal for busy urban environments.

Exterior

The design idea for the SVARTPILEN 401 is to strip away all unnecessary gimmicks and to create a simple, progressive mix of classic thinking and modern design.

Its black colour, rugged tyres and protective parts give the motorcycle a rigorous look to match its urban exploration intentions.
